- Nose
- A sea salt breeze on Islay, with notes of raspberries, butter, warm plastic, peat, cinnamon, and cardamom spice. There's a huge red wine influence, bringing sweet forest fruits, jammy notes, and milk chocolate, with smoke subtly in the background.
- Palate
- An initial hit of toffee apple, chili spice, cranberries, strawberry jam, raisins, and sultanas, though not as peated as expected. Despite the high ABV, it has a huge presence with more smoke than the nose suggests, alongside wine influence, forest fruit, leather, chocolate, and a bit of tannic bitterness.
- Finish
- A medium finish with a lingering gingery spice, becoming long and warming, drier and spicier with smoked fruit and more tannic oak.
